This seminar is a continuation of those held in 2021 ("liberal Democracy/digital democracy. Democracy and its current transformations"), and in 2022 ("The culture of freedom and its threats"), and is part of the line of work "Democracy and tolerance" that the ILE developed in collaboration with the Residencia de Estudiantes.
If until now we had reflected on the internal dimension of democracy, characterized by the expansion of populism and illiberal patterns of political action, this time we'll do it on those factors that are testing our resilience as free societies, and that a military conflict on our continent, global inequality, or the challenges of climate change have only accentuated.
The seminar will seek to assess how the supranational cooperation among democracies solid is presented as the best way to take care of the democracy and address the crisis.
